Is it possible that accutane could make acne worse in the long run? as in post-accutane? Is it possible that accutane could make acne worse in the long run? I might go on accutane and would like to know that if it doesnt work out that I'll atleast be able to go back to my current benzoyl peroxide regimen with atleast the same success I had pre-accutane. Accutane shouldnt cause break outs in new places or make current break outs worse can it?

RayeKaye replied: "I've never seen anyone's acne get worse after a full course of accutane. You'll need to just take good care of your skin during and after treatment, and follow your doctor's directions precisely."

can accutane make acne worse a long time after? i herd that some people after going off accutane for a few months or few years or alot of years later got acne again but alot worse how is this possible?? accutane stops oil production does your body get pissed off that your screwing around with its oil and produce way more? does accutane help blemishes and old pimple spots go away?

Cool G replied: "It depends but it usually if it returns the form of acne is mild one. However this drug is dangerous. You might get lucky considering some people experience and how it changed their life (I mean no acne gives you 200% confidence) whereas there have been cases of suicide. There are plenty other side effects especially damaging vital organs unless you plan to live 100 years with first 25-30 years with acne having no meaning. But you can try healthy diet before switching to accutane or maybe you can try some antibiotics."

brimshae replied: "Oh god yes. Like any other body system, your skin oils will become heavier and thicker the more it gets used, or in this case, need to be replaced. Sometimes cleaning too much (overcleaning) can cause your skin to produce more oil, as your body can't figure out why it's all being stripped away. Also, lay off the sodas and colas. I pretty much stopped a while back, and it's done wonders for me. Try drinking some more water, too. It will take some of that pore-clogging crap out of your system when you pee (which should be clear). Oh, and go easy on the deep-fried and breaded foods, too. It takes a concerted effort and a few weeks, but if you actually do all these instead of just saying you will, you can actually get much clearer skin. No over-priced crap needed!"

Does Accutane make acne worse before it gets better? thanks!

JAJ replied: "It can get worse before its gets better. I guess it depends on the person because my acne starting clearing up with a few days of taking Accutane it never got any worse."

Sean H replied: "Yea man it does, but I heard it differs for everyone. For me I broke out really bad for about 4 months. It sounds terrible but once you're done with the 6 months all your acne problems are gone - oily skin, blackheads, pimples - all are gone. But for 30% of people it does come back. For me it did come back after 5 months but it was much more mild. I'd recommend it."

accutane and acne getting worse? So, is it a definate that your acne will get worse before it gets better when you take accutane? Or what are the odds. and how long does this period of time usually last?

sadlonleyscorpiox3. replied: "accutane is not a good idea. it cuts off your oil glands. like totally gone. It will make your acne get better but it will get worse before it gets better. dont try it tho."

ElizabethMichele replied: "It doesn't cut off your oil glands, it suppresses them, they do still work. It is a powerful drug and can cause serious side effects but with proper Dr's care it can be used safely. It's not a guarantee that it will get worse before it gets better, but it is possible. I haven't had any problems with it, I've been on it about a week and i'm actually already starting to clear up. It's a pain in the ass to get approved for and if you don't have insurance forget it (the Rx alone is $850-1700 per month, plus monthly dr's visits and blood work). IF you need it go for it."

katie replied: "I'm pretty sure that accutane makes your skin worse at first and then it should all like fall of your face and get better. Look it up on google.."

Preston replied: "I took that stuff, after one week I stopped. Bad stuff, had a bad reaction right away."

-Matt- replied: "Acne meds often make your skin worse before they make it better. It may take a full 4-6 weeks of use before you really see the full results."

MICHAEL F replied: "ask the dr. who prescribed it."

Jeff replied: "Ugh, don't use any of that medicine. It doesn't really work that well... For the last year I've been having some acne as well. I've been given all sorts of creams and such, but recently my mom found out about apple cider vinegar. It has worked better than anything else I have tried. Basically, I use Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, mix it with like a cup of water added with honey and drink that everyday. Also, before I go to sleep I apply some of the vinegar directly on the pimples/acne. It really works. The only thing is that it kinda smells but it's only on your face at night so... My face cleared up really fast. The pimples basically go away and you don't even have to pop them or anything. Good luck! (btw this is all natural so it's not harmful to your skin) :]"

DeanDavo replied: "Some meds take a while to actually start working, and from what I know, Accutane reduces oil so you could try a moisturizer. Drying your skin out too much can aggravate acne, so either be a little patient and persist with what your doing or try applying a small amount of moisturizer."

How worse does accutane make your skin at first? What percentage of accutane takers get worse acne at first and then clearer skin? Is it everyone does and how long will it be worse? I've been getting prescribed tons of different things for almost two years and nothings ever worked that great so this week I'm going to ask my derma for a accutane subscription.

Joe S replied: "well i just started it almost a month ago and it has gotten noticably worse but if i understand right, it should get better in the second month. I'm definitly looking forward to that!"

Accutane making your cystic acne worse? I have bee taking Accutane for 7 weeks and my acne is horrible and hard to get rid of any advice PLEASE?

anonymous187450 replied: "I was on accutane for 6 months. The first 0-9 weeks my skin was a train wreck and got a lot worse than before. Just stick it out for a few more weeks and your skin will improve tremendously. I just took my last dose like 10 days ago and I can tell you I have not one pimple on my face now."

could accutane make my acne worse? im thinking about going on it i got lots of black heads on my nose i dont have severe acne on my face about 3-4 pimples some times i do break out with more then that but nothing too bad my forehead usually gets quite a bit i tried other things like a gel the doctor gave me along with some pills the pills ended up giving me dark spots after the acne went away which gets pretty bad on my back and chest so i stopped using it i was mainly wondering if i go on accutane i herd there was a chance it could just get way worse then my acne was before so im afraid of it and plus all the nasty side affects and im a stoner so i dont know if i can quit chronic for months drinking i can stop easilt but i love my herb any suggestions?

Ryan L replied: "I won't recommend accutane at all. There are many suicide death cause by accutane and its not wise to try it. There are plently of options available for you. I can offer some help, by the way I'm not selling anything. I'm offering you a whole free acne e-course for you to learn how to deal with acne in all aspect. Visit if you are interested."

Meg replied: "Don't listen to the poster about suicide. They haven't proven any link between Accutane and depression. In fact, I contend that Accutane gave me MORE self confidence... Accutane is basically supposed to be the last resort for severe or stubborn cystic acne. Any good dermatologist will make sure you've exhausted every other option before putting you on it...it does have some nasty side effects. My suggestion would be to talk to your dermatologist. S/he is the one who knows you and your medical history the best and can address any concerns you may have. Good luck!"

I am nearing the end of month 4 on accutane and my back acne has only gotten worse. How come? I have been on accutane for almost exactly 4 months and I am planning to continue for 5 to 6 months. I am becoming increasingly concerned with why my back is refusing to clear. Please inform me with any ideas, thoughts, or theory's. Thanks.

telefantastical replied: "That drug is being pulled off the market. You should stop taking it now."

Nathan replied: "That's very odd. It should be very well on its way to being cleared up. Ask your dermatologist, if they don't know why then ask another."

Str8info4U replied: "I don’t know how bad your acne is but Accutane is serious stuff. This is a list of just some of the Common Physical Side Effects of Accutane; nosebleeds, swelling of the lips, severe itching, back, joint, and muscle pain, erectile dysfunction, inflammation of the intestines resulting in abdominal cramping and persistent diarrhea, low white blood cell count making the body vulnerable to bacterial and fungal infections, osteoporosis which leads to a loss in bone mass and increased skeletal fragility, hair loss, baldness, loss of eyebrows and eye lashes, hearing impairment, ringing in the ears, and a decrease in vision up to and including blindness. These are some of the Life Threatening Reactions to Accutane; elevated liver enzymes (indicating liver damage), pseudotumor cerebri (swelling pressure in the brain), inflammation of the pancreas, heart attacks, strokes and seizures. Accutane is also connected with to the following Mental Abnormalities; violent or aggressive behavior, depression, psychosis (seeing or hearing things that are not real), suicidal thoughts and attempted suicide. Accutane contains the following warning for women as mandated by the Federal Government: Accutane must not be used by female patients who are or may become pregnant. There is an extremely high risk that severe birth defects will result if pregnancy occurs while taking Accutane in any amount, even for short periods of time. Potentially any fetus exposed during pregnancy can be affected. There are no accurate means of determining whether an exposed fetus has been affected. Don’t take my word for it. Type Accutane side effects in Google and watch what comes up. It’s pretty scary. For a safe alternative to pharmaceutical insanity check out this website."

Does accutane realy work for bad acne? I have bad acne does accutane really works

Russian_chick replied: "Yes, it does."

r0ckface replied: "I don't know about accutane, but my friend had really bad acne and ProActiv cleaned it right up!"

brokeu91 replied: "Yes, in fact it works quite well. The really big side effect from this is birth defects. If you're female, most dermatologists want you to use two different forms of birth control while taking this medication."

destiny18_au replied: "I don't know never used it but had friends who did and the side effects were worse than trying to get rid of the acne. My Doctors wanted me to try it and I looked at the list of side effects and said no way. These are possible side effects * depressed mood, trouble concentrating, sleep problems, crying spells, aggression or agitation, changes in behavior, hallucinations, thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself; * sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body; * blurred vision, sudden and severe headache or pain behind your eyes, sometimes with vomiting; * hearing problems, hearing loss, or ringing in your ears; * seizure (convulsions); * severe pain in your upper stomach spreading to your back, nausea and vomiting, fast heart rate; * loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes); * severe diarrhea, rectal bleeding, black, bloody, or tarry stools; * fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, purple spots under your skin, easy bruising or bleeding; or * joint stiffness, bone pain or fracture. Try proactiv it helped my acne although it took a while plus drink alot of water like 3 litres a day thats what I've been doing and my acne is nearly almost gone I have the occassional breakout but nothing like I did before.."

rosabearr replied: "Yes ACCUTANE DOES WORK IT TAKES AT LEAST A MONTH FOR PIMPLES TO GO WAY AND THE DOCTOR WILL RECOMMEND A 3 TO 6 MONTHS TREATMENT. I USE MY SELF SEVERAL YEARS AGO FOR REALLY BAD SIDE. THE ONLY SIDE OF EFFECT. I GOT WAS A REALLY DRY MOUTH THAT LOOK LIKE COLD SORE BUT IT WAS NOT."
